Connect

Connection is a vital part of human flourishing. In the world today, we have to consciously make decisions to reconnect to ourselves, to the people we love, to nature and to the community at large. Connection can also include making a conscious choice to connect and nurture our relationship to all the aspects of ourselves. Learning how to connect to self and others is an art that can be mastered through practice. Here are some ways to foster connection:

Ways to Connect on a Deeper Level

Inspire Cards
Take your conversations deeper with the Inspiring Children Foundation’s conversation cards, created by ICF youth. These prompts are designed to spark openness, reflection, and meaningful dialogue. Find them here.
Ask Meaningful Follow-Up Questions
Inside of every human is a world of wonder. By practicing curiosity you can begin to know yourself and others in a more meaningful way. This goes along with listening deeply. When you listen deeply you will naturally and effortlessly be able to ask meaningful, follow-up questions that show you are present and paying attention.
Nurture Connection
Choose an activity that allows you to slow down and be present—whether with yourself or others. By listening deeply and giving your time and attention, you strengthen relationships and create space for connection.
